Ingredients:
200g red beans, washed
50g rock sugar

½ teaspoon salt

11/3 cup water

2
tablespoons light corn syrup



Method: Red bean soup:
1. Boil the water then add the red beans.

3. Turn the heat down to the lowest, add the pandan leaves and simmer for 1 hour.

4. Add the orange peel and simmer for a further 15 minutes.

5. Add the rock sugar and remove from the heat (you can opt to blend and sieve the red beans at this point if you wish).


Mochi:
1. Mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl.

2. Simmer the water, sugar and light corn syrup in a saucepan until completely dissolved.

3. Make a well in the centre of the mochi flour and pour in the boiling liquid.
